The rooms were great. However, finding the hotel is tricky because it’s actually attached to the ESJ Towers. Also, the parking is in a basement garage which was a little difficult and dark.

Dirty towls were giving. No hot water. Stains on sheets. Also sometype of bugs in bed that bit me and my girlfriend that causes many bites on our legs and back. . Of course no pool but you can use other hotel pools for a 100.00 charge per day. That is the deal the hotel made with the surrounding hotels if you want to use the pool. The view was nice and great location right on the bech..

All of the above! All of the amenities were missing: no beach towels, no hairdryer, no coffee maker, no iron, a bucket, but no mop. I made reception aware of all of these missing items so that I would not get charged for them, and every time I mentioned it the person at reception would say “oh right away we’ll get those things up to you“ but it never happened. I asked for beach towels and had to wait one and 1/2 hours until housekeeping brought it up. This is after she told me that she would bring them right up. The staff did not seem to care about any issues that you had. We had to fend for ourselves otherwise the room was big and comfortable other than the bed which hurt my back. I would not stay there again.

Room was very clean and staff was courteous. Having full efficiency kitchen and unit with washer and dryer was key as room service was unpredictable. We would not stay there again if room did not have all amenities we had. Also we had to change rooms first night because of awful view on ground floor. Lot of disrepair on exterior of building. Pool and hot tub is an awful eye sore.

The service was terrible. The sheets and curtains were stained and dirty. Every day we asked for towels for the room to be cleaned and they would say yes. We would return from being out and there would be towels and to find out that they didn’t clean the room or even remove the garbage. The vicinity had a water situation and we were ok with that, but not to have the bathroom cleaned or even remove the garbage was discussing. To of the employees at the main office yesed me to death and nothing would be taken care of. The pool is under construction, and there are no beach chairs available. Overall, this was a terrible experience. Terrible hospitality services and discussing to say the least. We had to stay because unfortunately everything was sold out around us for the long weekend.

The room was neglected. No one came to clean the whole stay. Upon arrival after a long day of traveling we got to the hotel, and was advised that the whole hotel didn’t have water. We could not shower. We had a schedule on when the water would be on and we had to rush to use the water wisely. This ruined my birthday. I was here for my birthday trip with my boyfriend and this made it really awkward.
